CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. – The Marist softball team defeated Virginia by a score of 4-1 in its final game in Virginia's tournament on Sunday.

Marist scored first with two runs in the third. An infield single by Lalli and an error brought home Freeman, and then McWilliams brought in Reilly on a bunt.

Virginia cut its deficit in half on a home run by left fielder Megan Harris to lead off the fourth. However, the Red Foxes answered with a run in their next at bat. An infield groundout by McWilliams brought home Reilly, who had reached on a fielder's choice.
